can someone with a scan gauge do me a favor and check wot ignition timing. youll need to floor it foor about 2 to 3 seconds to stabilize the reading.

yeah mines usually 23. i was trying to see if the scangauge picked up advanced timing(unichip). it seems that it only reads stock signal (emailed scangauge) . thanks though.

hard to answer since the numbers are all relative. gas, airtemp, air flow, rpm, vehicle, location, lots of things. i was just seeing if my wot readings were similiar to others. at wot all things being equal a lower number than around 23 MIGHT mean timing is retarded and your making less power.ignition timing is when the spark occurs (in degrees) during a piston stroke of the engine relative to top dead center (i think).you dont want the spark to occur to early or too late. but even im not sure how the numbers actually correlate. but it is kind of useful to notice a change from normal operating parameters
